When working with a ganache, I find that working with the cold/frozen cakes is usually the best route because it will set up faster. And when you go to freeze again after decorating, there is a very low chance that it will have any condensation happen. To make the black ganache, I made my semi sweet chocolate ganache, and let it cool off for about an hour. I also put it into the fridge to cool it just a bit more before using. I transferred the amount to a liquid measuring cup and used @Chefmaster “Coal Black” color. Mix well until combined. I always recommend starting with 3-4 drops and building up the color if needed. Chocolate Ganache INGREDIENTS: 1 Cup Heavy Cream 1.5 Cups Semi Sweet Chocolate 1 Tsp Vanilla extract 4-5 drops food color INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Boil the Heavy Cream in a small sauce pan 2. Once boiling, remove from heat. 3. Put your chocolate In a heat safe bowl or glass measuring cup. 4. Pour the hot heavy cream over the chocolate. 5. Mix until fully incorporated. (Should take 3-5 minutes). To make this size of cake I used: 12” W x 3” H. I made 3, 12” cake layers. Trim each in half and the put in freezer. Once cakes were all set and very cold/frozen and filled, apply your first layer of ganache. Put cake back in the freezer for 10-15 minutes, and then apply final layer of the jet black chocolate ganache. It turns out absolutely beautiful. I love the black so much! #theblondewhobakes #cakedecorating#cakes #cake #dessert #food #foodie #baking #cakevideo #cakeoftheday #frosting #ganache #chocolate #yummy #lifehack #chocolatecake #cakesofinstagram #instafood #instagood #instadaily #instagram | Whitney Berge
